Linux Embedded Engineer - deep tech start up

A deep-tech startup based in Tel Aviv is looking for a strong and experienced Linux Embedded Engineer to join its core engineering team.

This role is for true low-level experts — engineers who enjoy working close to the metal, leading complex technical challenges independently, and taking full ownership of critical system components.

Role & Responsibilities

• Hands-on development of Linux Embedded systems and Kernel components
• Low-level development in hardware-intensive environments
• Leading hardware *bring-up* on new boards and platforms
• Debugging and solving complex system-level issues end to end
• Working as part of a small, elite, highly technical core team

Requirements

• 5–20 years of professional experience in Linux Embedded and Kernel development / Yocto project.
• Proven, hands-on experience with hardware bring-up – a must
• Strong background in low-level development and embedded systems
• Significant advantage for candidates from elite technological military units (e.g., Unit 81)
• Demonstrated long-term employment stability
• Self-starter mindset with the ability to dive deep into complex problems and solve them independently

Additional Details

• Full on-site role: 5 days a week from the Tel Aviv office
• Small, focused team with real technical ownership
• Work on a core defense product with real impact

This position is suited for engineers who value depth, ownership, and serious technical challenges.
